1907 Ten Dollar Fantasy Coin

This week I came across a couple interesting "Commemorative Replica" coins. Things like this have been around a while and will someday flood the market, but at least they're not at all deceptive and a clearly labeled "COPY" per the Hobby Protection Act. I'd call them fantasies rather than copies. -Editor

Hobo Fantasy Coin

I only sell copy (replica) coins, Please don't buy them as the original coins. I sell these copied coins only want to make your collections more perfect.

Cool "hobo nickel style" piece, clearly not a genuine coin. -Editor

This item may be more deceptive. They call it a "paperweight". Seems nicely done and marketed, though. What medal is it a replica of? -Editor
